OUR PURPOSE

Centrality is building a platform to enable a more equal and fair world for all users. Right now, your data is owned by 4 big internet companies and they use it to make huge profits – they also use their power to shut down competition. We believe the Centrality marketplace will put people back in control of their data and allow smaller companies to succeed by working together, this allows for a fairer world for everyone.

CENNZ fuels the Centrality eco‑system

Our vision is to help the world transition to a decentralised future. To ensure the platform and infrastructure is decentralised, ownership of the infrastructure also has to be decentralised. Holding a token sale allows our community to share in the ownership. The money raised will help us expand our network, increase user numbers and encourage more developers to build dapps on our platform.

Token sale

On 15 January 2018, Centrality became one of the top 10 ICOs of all time by selling out of CENNZ tokens within 6 minutes. Overwhelming demand saw 8000 KYC and AML registered buyers on the TGE app and more than $265,000,000 USD pledged to the smart contract prior to the sale.

Our commitment to running a responsible launch campaign meant that we assigned a hard cap of $100,000,000 to both our pre, and main sales. We believe this is enough to deliver our goal of ‘creating tomorrow together’.
